I think Wane was always pencilled in to take over from Madge and I don't think anyone expected Madge to be here longer than his three years.Whelley Warrior wrote:As far as I am concerned, Maguire only came here on a short term contract in order to gain experience for himself to get a first team coaching job in Australia while at the same time help the club improve the technical side of coaching in the Wigan squad and also help Wane to become first team coach after his departure
What was I suspect was planned to be only a three year contract ended up as only a two year one after being poached by Russell Crowe.
Given the NRL is awash with cash I can't see top coaches (even assitant ones as Madge was) coming here in the same way as in the past when we were able to entice the likes of Monie over here. UK clubs may not be constrained by what they can pay coaches by the salary cap but they just aren't that rich compared to NRL clubs these days nor will they be offering quality players to coach with the best ones heading the other way to the NRL.Other Aussies like Elliott at Bradford, Morgan at Hull KR etc have done the same over the year's.
Others from Australia will follow.
If it is announced Sam is going to see his contract out I'd be over the moon. I'd be even happier if Wane was off to the NZW !!East Stand Faithful wrote:Well that would be a big boost for Fridays game to announce Sam and Waney staying and give us a big push for the games in the next month!!

will it be that options on Wane, Hansen and Gelling all taken up?cpwigan wrote:Obviously not confirmed but my source is right 99% of the time. It may be the good news (Wane) / Bad news (Sam) ploy that IL likes to utilise. I would prefer the good news to be A quality signing AND Wane.
I don't have a "problem" with Wane but I do have an opinion on his ability as a coach. That comment was in part tongue in cheek in that I have expected him to be coach next season for some time.Whelley Warrior wrote:Is your problem with Wane a personal one?DaveO wrote:If it is announced Sam is going to see his contract out I'd be over the moon.
